Hi Ted, well first off nothing beats frying in oil, having an air fryer i have tried it a few ways and it is fair, if you bread it you must spray it with oil/pam to brown and give it bit of crisp, and without breading use seasonings with butter or lemon juice for some moisture. .

I use a "Toaster Oven" style air fryer. Use it more as a broiler than an air fryer.
- I use a small pizza pan - Cover pan with foil - make clean up easy
- squirt a little oil on foil - I use olive oil. sometimes canola
-- Just enough oil to coat the foil - not deep frying here
- Place fillet on foil/oil - flip it around to coat both sides with oil
-- End with "good side up" - you know what I mean?
- Sprinkle with a little spice - I use garlic powder, salt, pepper (sometimes Italian seasoning)
- Lightly cover with Panko bread crumbs - just sprinkle some on top. should stick to the oil on top of the fillet
- finish with a little more salt and pepper
- Optional: Add a couple of super thin strips of butter (1" x 1" x super thin) on top of the bread crumbs (makes it crispy when "frying")
- Air Broil/Air Fry for 10 minutes @ 400F - more or less depending on thickness

This is for walleye (and other skinless/flaky fish), not for perch (just my opinion). Perch needs to be fried the old fashioned way.
